THE Tampa Bay Buccaneers had a far from ideal start to the 2024 season after their Bye Week. The Bucs are currently 4-6 and in third place in the NFC South. However, they could change things quickly and make things interesting.
The Bucs are two games behind the Falcons, but beating the others on the schedule would make the South more interesting.
The team had health issues with Chris Godwin, Mike Evans and others on defense. The secondary has been a problem but they are starting to get help this week. Could the Bucs turn things around this week against the Giants? We predict this match and others for the rest.
